"the teaching of evolution does not do much for most Christians." How would you say Christians doing with plate techtonics, astronomy, etc?

I'll assume you were attempting to be sarcastic.

The Theory of Evolution is the total opposite of Christian belief (creation). When Christian kids get this information from authority figures (teachers) it's confusing at best. One can prepare a child for it so they understand that it's an unproven theory that is now treated as a religion by the non-religious and put it in perspective. Many Christian parents do this and help their child separate science from spiritual belief.

Todays public schools are totally ACLU approved with secular humanism as the only 'religion' that's allowed. Man is All. A belief in God spoken in the classroom will usually bring derision and 'counseling' in some extreme cases. Meanwhile, the testing scores plummet and things such as American History (with strong religious ties running through it) are watered down and we get chapter after chapter about slavery and our mistreatment of the Indians. Sex education begins sooner and sooner while sexual activity begins earlier and earlier and now the homosexuals want to be front and center to push their agenda on children captive in the classroom. Our national academic standings in the world are a joke, but hey, we don't put up with any of that religious stuff. No siree! We're enlightened here, boy. Just look at our kids scores...well, never mind. Wait until next year.

Look, Christians have no problem with the hard sciences. I believe that most scientific discoveries point to a Creator anyway but my faith is not on what man does or says or discovers, but what God says in his Word.
I can co-exist with non-believers in an educational setting but the fact that my beliefs are not just dismissed but made out to be a form of heresy by the humanists running most public schools is something I totally disagree with and when it occurs, I criticize it and protest. Simple as that.
